Chapter Fifteen: Allie

November 17

        At 2:57 A.m I was woken up by my phone lighting up my room. Someone was calling me. Early that night it had started raining, making it peaceful. I went to my side and answered my phone. Eyes closed.

" Hello?" I said in a soft, quiet, tiring tone. I didn't hear anything from the other end..

" I can't sleep, Allie." I heard after a while. Now I know who called me.

" Nathan, it's 3:02 in the morning! What are you doing up at this time;aren't you supposed to be getting ready by 5?" I asked. I could hear a slight groan on the other end of the phone.

" I just can't sleep. Everything is going through my brain right now. The surgery, hockey, finals, and most importantly... your birthday." he said softly, but worried in his tone as well. He remembers..

We talked for about 30 minutes before I made my final decision. I'm helping.

" I'm coming over." I said, sitting up and standing off my bed.

"What! No! It's raining outside. What if you get into an accident?" he said in a worried voice.

" Nathan, nothing is going to happen. Also are you on booktok? Have you been reading

        If he had been with me by Laura Nowlin?" I asked, walking to turn on my bedroom light.

         I got to Nate's house, 315 Maple Elm. I exited my car and walked up to the porch. My umbrella was covering my head from getting wet, the porch light was on. I could see some light shining through the upstairs window. Until it turned off..

I texted Nathan.

Grant

Allie: I'm here open the fucking door its cold out here!

Grant: I'm coming now. Be patient.

Allie: Well you better hurry before I die out here.

Grant: I can just let you stay out there.

Allie: YOU BETTER NOT!!

Allie: No but actually, open this fucking door.

        The door opens and Nathan is behind it holding a blanket. Blue. The blanket was blue.

        I went through the doorway, closing my umbrella. Nathan wrapped the blanket around my shoulders as we walked up to his room. Punching in the code, 25543. Closing the door behind us..

        I put my bag next to his desk, before I met him at his bed. He was wearing sweats, making him sweat underneath with all the anxiety. I got on the bed, being closer to the wall, while he was closer to the nightstand.

        " Why can't you sleep exactly?" I asked, as I adjusted myself on the bed. He brought his legs onto the bed, lifting his left leg on top of a pillow. Wincing ever so slightly. I noticed the pain he was in..that could've been prevented." Nathan," I whispered as I leaned my head against his shoulder. He looked down at me, I looked up at him." I'm just stressing about the procedure, like what if something bad happens during the surgery? Which means I won't know until after the surgery because I'm going to be put under. Who's going to be there when the procedure is over and I need to be taken home." he said in a harsh, tired tone.

        " My mom won't be able to because she's going to be out of town, my dad is a city over, and the boys are going t be at practice, and I-," I cut him off,

        " I'll pick you up. I'll even drive you so you don't have to waste money on ubering."

        He adjusted himself before turning completely towards me..I caught myself, looking into his eyes. He held my hands looking back into mine.." You'll do that for me?" he questioned, softing his tone. I nodded my head before a yawn came after me." Okay you can take me. Now let's get you to sleep, Grace.

        That next morning, Allie had woken up before me cooking breakfast for the boys and I. Making sure everybody was fed before our very long days. She got herself ready while the boys and I were eating downstairs. She came back down wearing a beige sweater, flowy jeans, and her Uggs. Her hair was in a braid, bun, looking thing I don't know what it's called!" Okay, finish up and go get dressed in something comfortable, and something easy to take off for when you're under the care of your roommates and I. Possibly your mothers." she said in a strict tone. Some of the boys laughed, Allie turning quickly towards them shutting them up." Yes ma'am." I said, getting up and kissing her forehead before heading back upstairs.

Fuck-Puck

Caleb: Heesh, Grant. Is this how strict she'll be when you guys have kids?

Zach: Fr dude. I seriously want to know.

Me: Shut the fuck up you two!

Marcus: Yo, what's happening!?

Luke: I'm interested too, spill the beans.

Caleb: Grant's girl was all strict mom mode just now, and is staring at us still GRANT!

Zach: I can confirm that she went full strict mom mode on us and is still staring at us!!!

Blake: Should I inform Allie that y'all are talking about her behind her back? Also she stayed the night??

Me: Nobody needs to tattle, Kings. Also everyone just shut the FUCK up, and if you don't want to keep being stared by her fucking apologies. Peace.

Xavier: It's 6:51 in the goddamn morning. Stop blowing up the group chat!

Cameron: Shut up Thorbes just silent the group chat so you can get your " beauty sleep" we all know you don't want to read over a hundred messages after fucking Amber or whoever is sleeping with you.

         I put my phone back on the charger and started to pack a hospital bag, adding in extra clothes, a toilet tree bag, and two pairs of shoes. Slippers and flip flops for the bathroom. Slipper for comfort NOT for the shower!

       I then finished packing up my bag before heading back downstairs, seeing the chaos..

       " I'm ready." I said, looking at everyone. Allie having her arms on her hips the boys looking scared for their lives. I put my bag around my shoulder, and grabbed Allie's waist. Walking the both of us out the door. Although before we were fully out I turned back giving the boys a stare before closing the front door.

       " Catch." I said as I threw her my keys. Catching them mid air. She gave me a small smile before unlocking my g wagon. I threw my bag into the back seats as she adjusted the driver's seat." Hey don't mess up my car!" she then slid the seat forward." Dude it's not my fault I'm short and can't reach the steering wheel, let alone reach the mirror to adjust it to my liking." she said glaring at me. When then drove off, exiting Maple Elm. Driving all the way until we didn't see the huge maple tree forest that surrounds the whole campus. As in when we were like thirty minutes away from the city. From then on she was blasting music, having to lower it down numerous times due to cops being around. Before we got to the hospital..somewhere I didn't want to be..

         " Okay you're going to count down from hundred, as I place the gas mask, ok?" the kind nurse said. I nodded as she slowly was bringing down the mask. Before it was fully on my face, covering my mouth and nose." 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 9-," I was completely out..
